@ Tsbbzm, post up your camera settings on some of the shots you're taking and see if we can't "diagnose" what the issue is with the grain. All of these shots that I posted up at the zoo were taken with a kit lens so there's no reason you should be getting grain in any shots if your settings are correct.

Thanks for all the help. Ill start throwing in the settings and hopefully you guys can help in that aspect. Ill look for that 35 1.8 but im not seeing one for 200 made by canon. Theres a bunch for around 200 for Nikon.
Those at the zoo you took are great Sh3itskees. You can see every detail.

There's no first party 35 DX from Canon.. Most usually go 3rd party. You could get what I believe is a 35 1.4 from them.

Ah I didn't know you had a Canon. The 35 1.8 that we're referring to is for Nikon. You're going to have to ask one of the more experienced Canon users here for info about that. Thanks for the compliment as well!

there's only the 35mm 1.4 L from canon which is about 1500$; if you want a cheap fast prime, get the 50mm 1.8 - nifty fifty, plastic fantastic, etc - every photographer has this 100$ lens in his bag.

I really want to get the 50mm but I keep hearing that the 50mm is an odd focal length for the DX sensor... I would rather get the 85mm 1.8. Nikon makes a decently cheap 85 1.8.

There are two canon ef 35mm f/2 that are very sharp. Sharper than the 1.4 even. I have the older non is 35 f2 that I shot that corvette picture with. I got it from the canon website refurbished with warranty for $230

Just dropping a couple photos from this weekend in Detroit. Tried my hand at a few different editing techniques for these since I wasn't particularly thrilled with them.

Thanks! there were so many spots that would've been fantastic for some great shots with the 'Balt. Unfortunately we took the GF's car this weekend because it was her birthday weekend. Next time we come back home the LT is coming with us and were heading downtown.

I'm drunk and being nostalgiic and looking through my Flickr. This is one of the first pictures I took while trying to be "creative". I'd like to say I've come quite a long way. Damn I miss the wagon though.

This is what I hate about Canon. Their bodies seem to be a good value but they ruin it by not having any good lenses in this segment. All they have is the 50mm 1.8. The next best thing I could find is the 40mm 2.8 Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 STM Lens 6310B002 B&H Photo Video

Fast aperture, tripod.. there would still be lights in the garage. You'd have harsh reflections/glare/hot spots, so CP maybe.

wat.
Canon has such a better lens selection. Just get the 50mm, it's dirt cheap and you won't even know what an 'awkward focal length' is because you don't have a 50mm on a full frame. 35mm vs 50mm = take a step back. Problem solved.
